Beskrivning
Algebra & Geometry: An Introduction to University Mathematics, Second Edition provides a bridge between high school and undergraduate mathematics courses on algebra and geometry. The author shows students how mathematics is more than a collection of methods by presenting important ideas and their historical origins throughout the text. He incorporates a hands-on approach to proofs and connects algebra and geometry to various applications.The text focuses on linear equations, polynomial equations, and quadratic forms. The first few chapters cover foundational topics, including the importance of proofs and a discussion of the properties commonly encountered when studying algebra. The remaining chapters form the mathematical core of the book. These chapters explain the solutions of different kinds of algebraic equations, the nature of the solutions, and the interplay between geometry and algebra.New to the second edition Several updated chapters, plus an all-new chapter discussing the construction of the real numbers by means of approximations by rational numbersIncludes fifteen short ‘essays’ that are accessible to undergraduate readers, but which direct interested students to more advanced developments of the materialExpanded referencesContains chapter exercises with solutions provided online at www.routledge.com/9780367563035

Recensioner i media

"Algebra and geometry successfully meets its aims. It has a reassuringly large overlap with familiar ideas from school mathematics but reappraises them in areadable yet rigorous manner. It introduces readers to the style of abstract reasoning that will be the staple of pure mathematics courses at university. It also includesplenty of nuggets that can be savoured after a first reading (such as the construction of the real numbers via equivalence classes of Cauchy sequences of rationals, and the proofs of the generalised associativity and Cantor-Schröder-Bernstein theorems). I shall happily recommend this book to prospective undergraduate mathematicians and warmly welcome it to the growing shelf of recent bridging texts."- The Mathematical Gazette, July 2023
